North Carolina Department of Transportation
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Bridge Management Unit is responsible for inspecting more than 18,000 bridges in accordance with federal guidelines. The unit also inspects related structures including pipes, culverts and overhead signs. Historically, this was a paper-based process, which was inefficient and inaccurate. In addition, each inspection team collected data differently, leading to inconsistent data point collection. To increase the efficiency, accuracy and consistency of its bridge inspection process, NCDOT implemented a Tablet PC-based mobile inspection system powered by SQL Anywhere from Sybase iAnywhere.
Key Benefits
- Increases inspection efficiency, accuracy and consistency
- Eliminates paperwork, allowing inspectors to spend more time on inspections
